  Clever VN that uses each heroine's route to slowly drip lore and plot information (with a couple exceptions) that expands your understanding of what all is going on. And even ignoring that, most of the routes are enjoyable on their own. The mysticism is pretty good; the pseudoscience they sometimes throw around to explain it is silly. The "true route" does a couple confusing things, but ultimately ends meaningfully and ties most things together nicely. All in all a pretty good VN. Only shame is that the best girl doesn't have a real route, but she's heavily involved in the "true" route so it's not too bad.

  You will regret if you buy this vn now, i mean seriously even if you buy it on sale. But why i give thumbs up? well, this vn sure is great read if only all those bugs are gone. There are lots of bugs, crashes, untranslated lines, hard to read font, and cropped characters sprite (i think this one is fine tho, but sometimes its looks weird). [b]BUT, IT WILL HAVE "HD REMASTERED" UPDATE, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL TAKES[/b] Note: There is retranslation beta you can participate on Steam launcher, but it always crash at some scene so i can't progress further.

  [b] Life changing, and I'm not even exaggerating. [/b] Either you hate it or you love it, there's no in-between for this game. Obviously I'm on the latter. The more I played this game, the more I began to understand why I loved it so much. While there are obvious flaws in the story and translations, I believe these did not hinder my experience much, or rather at all. [spoiler]Also, Eternal Heart is probably never gonna get translated, considering Sekai Project does nothing but sit on their asses. As of January 2022, both the HD remake and EH are still in a perpetual state of limbo. It would be better to just learn Japanese and play the original game, or learn Chinese to play the CN patch, than to wait for this incompetent publisher to finally release something that isn't a random fucking Moege.

  8 out of 10 Hoshizora no Memoria's story develops slowly at first, but it is well-written with cute character design, good voice acting, mysteries to discover, romance and humor. The story is also more complex and mature than it first appears. Decision making is present and meaningful as you get to know the many characters. Even the backgrounds are nice, often having people in them as opposed to the empty static location scenes typically used in most VNs. Fan service likewise is mild and features a right-click feature during CGs which allows you to move and zoom the camera a bit. Overall a very good VN.

  A very fun and enjoyable VN! Great story, enjoyable plot, great CGs and colors! Still waiting on Eternal Heart though.

  Great story, good music, and likable characters. One of the best VN's I've played.

  It pained me to give this game a thumb down since I love it and have been waiting for the HD remastered version for a long time. But that font size is unreadable on anything but a big monitor (even on a big monitor, it's not a pleasant experience). On my ROG Ally, it hurts my eyes when I tried to read it. Just look at the screenshots on this page, simply unacceptable.

  Absolutely fantastic VN that is far more than its Steam page and description suggests. If the screenshots or tagline appeal to you even in the slightest, seriously, check this one out; you won't be disappointed. It's absolutely everything I could have ever wanted out of a childhood-friend/fated-reunion story, extremely charming and with the perfect balance of cute dramatic romance you came to this genre for, a touch of fantasy mystique, and occasional slice-of-life comedy moments that genuinely made me crack up. Here's what I'd consider the important notes if you're thinking about buying though: - This Steam release is the original, older release. It actually had a re-release in Japan around 2017 that had higher-quality backgrounds (not just upscaled, they were actually redrawn by the artists), a slew of modernized features, and a very nice remixed OST. Problem is, that version is only available in Japanese, so we English users are stuck with the old version. Sekai Project has been promising an updated English release for donkey's years but I wouldn't hold your breath. Still, if that release happens to be out by the time you read this review, get that one instead. I myself played the Steam release for all of 2 hours before downloading the JP HD release with a fan TL patch and believe me, the experience on the HD edition is much better. - It's one of the VNs that requires you to complete all routes to get the "True" ending. This is only a minor annoyance since only the common route is super long and the individual character routes aren't that long (excluding the True Ending route). - If you like to use R18 patches on your VNs, bad luck: For some reason the R18 patch is sold separately on DenpaSoft's website for around $10. Yeah, really.
